THE POTATO CROP.


A Successful Method Of Raising the Tubers
ON Sod Ground.
The best success ever had-taking
quantity, quality and freedom from dis
ease into consideration in cultivating
potatoes for the autumn crop-was to
let the grass grow on good piece of
sod till the last of May or the first week
of June and then turn the burrows about
six or seven inches deep, fat over. The
object in letting the grass grow thus
long is that it assists in more rapidly
decomposing the sod during the sum-
mer. II the following autumn should
happen to be mild, the blowing could
safely be prolonged to the end Of June.
Being detained in finishing planting
my potatoes one season left a small
patch Of the field to be plowed and
planted so late as the first week in July.
and got as large crop from this rs
from that planted month earlier.
After the ground is plowed, pass a field
roller over to smooth it, then furrow
out on top Of the sod about three inches
deep. This, unless the sod be extra
thick. can be done without disturbing it,
which is indispensable to secure good
crop. Furrowing three inches deep
turns out sufficient loose soil on each
side to cover the seed when planted.
Scarce weed will grow here. and if .
fair amount of rain falls the sod will
decompose just rapidly enough during
the season to supply sufficient ailment
for the growth of the tubers. As there
are no weeds to kill, one blowing will
be enough for the crop.
This should be done just before blos-
soming. and loose soil enough will be
found between the rows 10 hill the pota-
toes well. When the sod is very thick.
sufficient loose soil may not be found
on it o pillow out for planting; in this
case the planter may cut a hole with
the hoe at each step between the edges
of every third furrow, then drop the
seed and cover. Ihave got good crop
in this way. but it is not so certain as
by blowing for planting. Both methods

have raised 287 bushels from the acre,
when I could furrow out well on top Of
the sod for planting. This method re-
quires less labor than most Others. and,
as was then situated. was the cheapest
way, on the Whole, which could follow
to raise potatoes of good size and quail
ity. II land be plowed in autumn for
the purpose of having the sod rot during
winter, it must be replowed in spring.
narrowed thoroughly, rolled, and then
turrowed out for planting. This makes
double work. and so many weeds spring
up during summer IS to require two
plowings between the rows Of potatoes.
besides hand-hoeing. Then, aftsr al.

there is greater difficulty in digging the

Old Shoes Rcmadc.

1t may be a surprise to some people
to learn that tho old shoes cast into the
ash barrel are liable to rcappear in the
boudoir and parlor. a New York re-
porter who saw q couple Of rag pickers
quarrclling oycra lot Of worn-out and
seemingly worthless footgear inter-
viewed one Of the chiffonniers, and
found that they sold them to tile manu-
facturers Of wall paper. lie followed
up the clcw, and on questioning the
foreman, Of one Of these establishments,
elicited the following bits of infor-
nation.
"Wcbuy," said the foromln, Gall
the boots and slloes tho scaYongcrs
can bring lis. We pay different prices
for different qualities OF leather. A
pair o: line calfskin boots will bring as
high ass cents. We don't buy cowhide
boots. Tho boots and shoes are
first soaked in several waters to get the
dirt Off them. Thcn the nails and
threads are removed, the leather ground
up into fine pulp, and is ready for use.
''Tho embossed leather paperings
which have come into fashion lately,
and stamped leather fire screens, are
really nothing but thick paper covered
witlra layer Of this pressed leather pulp.
The finer the leather the better it takes
the bronze and Old gold and other ex-
pensive colOfs i'll the designs painted on
them. Fashionable people think they
are going away back to the medieval
times when they have tho walls Of their
libraries and dining rooms covered with
this embossed leather they don't know
that tho shoes and boots which their
ncighborS threw into tho ash barrel q
month before form the beautiful materi-
al on their walls and on the screens
which protect their eyes from tho fire.
"We could buy tlIa old shoes cheaper
if it wero not for the competition from
carriage houses and book binders and
picture frame makers. I don't kno w
how many other trades use old shoes
and boots, but the tops Of carriages are
largely made Of them, ground up and
pressed into sheets. Dookbindcrs use

HIDDEN.

Nay, 10 not call mo light aud false, dear
fl iond.
Aud turn away from me with cold disdain,
Because tho chords you touched with idle
hand
Gavo forth no answering strain
Nor coll mo tickle while smile and jest.
And look toward tho world with happy
Dyes
Why should swell lifo's sorrowing lido
With unavailing sighs.
Como I willlif the flowers above my heart,
Anu show you tho dark gravo I've hid
M uen deep
You lid not know? Nay, do not griovo for
Tho timo il past TO weep.
Arc there not tears enough In lifes full cup
Is not each wind that blows II dirGo OF
woo?
Then let me laugh and sing with careless
nirth
And hide my sorrow low.
